Detailed description of the invention
Although the many aspects of subject of the present invention being described with reference to specific exemplary embodiment, but It is that subject of the present invention is not limited to such embodiment, and can be in the situation without departing from subject of the present invention Deformation, application and the embodiment that lower realization is other.In the accompanying drawings, identical label will be used to indicate that phase Same assembly.It would be recognized by those skilled in the art that, the various assemblies illustrated here can be carried out Replace, and do not change the scope of subject of the present invention.
Fig. 1 shows that the distance light of the headlamp 14 for automatically controlling vehicle being installed to vehicle 12 is with near The automatic headlamp control system 10 enabled of light.Before automatic headlamp control system 10 has and is attached to The sensor 16 of illuminator control module 18, wherein, headlamp control module 18 is attached to headlamp 14, Operate controlling opening/closing and distance light/dipped beam of beating of headlamp 14.Sensor 16 is preferably mounted in it In the distortionless scene location of sensing vehicle front.This can be realized by vehicle air regulator, As shown in fig. 1.Such as, during sensor 16 may be mounted at rearview mirror or mirror installed part.Other In unshowned embodiment, sensor can be mounted directly to air regulator or be directly installed in headlamp or week Enclose.Sensor 16 is calibrated, thus sensor 16 is collected from head-on or the light source of preceding vehicle is launched Light, and prevent from the pseudo-optical signal from non power driven vehicle light source is responded.Therefore, from such as road Limit mark, guardrail may be similar to the spectrum of the light source of motor vehicles with the spectrum of the object of reflector anti- The optical signal penetrated is filtered out optically and is ignored by sensor control block 16.This can be by by silicon Photodetector is used as optical sensor and is opaque for visible ray and for red to be doped It is that transparent epoxy material is achieved to encapsulate silicon optical sensor for outer light.Realization can also be used Other means of desired filtration, such as use optical band pass filter.Sensor 16 can also include For collecting the ambient light sensor of ambient light.Sensor 16 can also is that camera.Sensor 16 also may be used To include strategically arranging one or more sensors and camera in one or more positions onboard Combination.Those skilled in the art can construct and use applicable sensor 16 without deviating from the master of the present invention The scope of topic.
Controller 18 be attached to headlamp 14, sensor 16 and for beating between opening/closing at headlamp, The multiple switches switched between the automatically and manually control that distance light is beaten between opening/closing, headlamp operates 20-24(is the most not shown).Controller 18 can be incorporated into and maybe can be included standard network bus In (such as vehicle CAN bus).
With reference to Fig. 2, it is shown that according to subject of the present invention include automatic headlamp control and automatically before shine The schematic block diagram of the headlamp control system 10 of the override that lamp controls.Via controller 18, main front photograph Signal controlled switch 20 manually controls the selection of the open and close of vehicle head lamp 14.From Dynamic headlamp control model switch 22 communicates with controller 18.When automatic headlamp controls to be not at " beating Open " time, system is in manual operation mode.Also lead to controller 18 furthermore, it is possible to used by driver The switch 24 of letter manually carries out the distance light of headlamp or manually selecting of dipped beam output.From controller 18 The control signal 26 of output controls the selection between the dipped beam output at headlamp 14 and distance light output.Drive The person of sailing carrys out override automatic mode, regardless of setting automatic mold by using switch 24 directly to control headlamp Formula, and no matter the headlamp under automatic mode output how.Control module 18 monitors sensor continuously Information, the state of headlamp 14, the setting of automatic mode switch 22 and the driving from switch 24 of 16 The input of the person of sailing.
As set forth above, it is possible to manually or automatically carry out the operation of headlamp 14.In a manual mode, Driver manually uses switch 20 to open headlamp, and uses switch 24 desirably to select dipped beam Or distance light operation.When in time switching 22 and enable automatic headlamp controlling feature, i.e. system 10 will be from Open and close headlamp dynamicly and automatically cut between dipped beam and distance light when headlamp is opened Change.When system 10 operates in automatic mode, headlamp 14 is based on the vehicle determined by sensor 16 The level of outside ambient light and be automatically turned on and close.May need automatic headlamp is individually enabled Controlling feature 18, maybe can need not start headlamp controlling feature 18 individually.Enable based on detecting Dipped beam state or enable high-beam condition, the level of light that detected by sensor 16 and the field in front Scape, system 10 is additionally provided in the automatic switchover between dipped beam state and high-beam condition.When enabling automatic mode And when headlamp is in dipped beam state, if the condition sensed permits distance light, then system will automatically Open distance light.When enabling automatic mode and headlamp is in high-beam condition, if the condition sensed Permit dipped beam, then system will automatically turn off distance light.
Disagree the driver of the headlamp state recommended in automatic mode by headlamp control system 10 Switch 24 can be used manually to select state: distance light or dipped beam, carry out override automatic mode and do not stop Use automatic mode.For setting the hand switch 24 of distance light or dipped beam state at headlamp control system 10 It is arranged to override arbitrary automatic mode during automatic mode recommend.In the system of prior art, so Action cause automatic mode to be terminated indefinitely until it is reseted by driver, or override sets Put and possibly rely on intervalometer, and automatic mode recovers when timer expiry.This typically occurs in predetermined Go by after.According to subject of the present invention, when from the order of control system 10 or recommend and drive When the action of the person of sailing is mated, automatic control system enables again, thus recovers automatic mold in the suitable time Formula, and avoid the shortcoming relevant to known system.Subject of the present invention solves by automatically controlling Unite the order of driver is decoded in override and the transformation between automatically controlling.
In order to from closing distance light override for opening distance light: if driver recommends to close at automatic control system During distance light, distance light is opened in expectation, then driver need to use switch 24 to make controller 18 send signal 26, To open distance light.According to subject of the present invention, distance light will stay open until one of two events appear as Only.(1) driver's manual-lock distance light, now, automatic control system and driver reach an agreement and again Secondary enabling automatically controls, or (2) automatic control system 10 senses the condition permitting opening distance light, Now, the output of automatic control system and again agree from the input of driver and again enable from Autocontrol system.
In order to from closing distance light override for opening distance light: if driver recommends to open at automatic control system During distance light expectation close distance light, then driver need moving switch 24 to make controller 18 send signal 26, To close distance light.Till distance light will remain closed until the appearance of one of two events.(1) driver's switching Returning distance light, now, automatic control system and driver reach an agreement and again enable and automatically control, or (2) automatic control system 10 recommends to close distance light based on the condition sensed, and now, automatically controls System 10 processed and driver input 24 and again agree and again enable automatic control system.
Fig. 3 is the flow chart of the method 100 of subject of the present invention.Subject of the present invention is applied to be set Controlled for automatic mode and because of the input of driver's request by the automatic headlamp of override.Therefore, flow process The starting stage of figure starts under conditions of automatic headlamp control is the most enabled.According to subject of the present invention Method 100, driver inputs order 102.Method determines whether the state of headlamp asks with driver Headlamp state consistency 104.If driver inputs the recommendation of 102 and automatic headlamp control system Unanimously, then automatic mode keeps enabling 106.But, if driver inputs 102 and automatic headlamp The recommendation of control system is contrary, then the recommendation 108 of override automatic control system, and is set to by headlamp The state that driver is asked.Such as, automatic headlamp control system sensing condition also recommends to open distance light, And driver expects the recommendation of override automatic headlamp system because distance light is closed in request.Driver is the most defeated Enter order to close distance light.Controller inputs according to the order of driver and enables headlamp, thus override The automatic control system of the state of headlamp is recommended, and stops automatically controlling of headlamp provisionally.? In example provided herein, headlamp is switched to dipped beam state.Headlamp is arranged holding by controller For by the desired setting of the override commands of driver, and continue to monitor the front photograph that automatic control system is provided to Lamp state and sensor information 110.Controller also continues to provide headlamp shape based on the condition sensed The recommendation 112 of state.Automatic control system also monitors the request of driver or input is ordered and sensor letter Breath 110, until automatic control system or driver provide the input that headlamp state will be caused to change To the time point of headlamp control system.Based on such event, method will determine driver again Request or input order whether mate the state of recommendation of automatic control system.When automatic control system Recommending and driver inputs order when matching, that recovers headlamp automatically controls 106.
Such as, when automatic headlamp control system has already turned on distance light, driver can manually close Distance light, thus conflict mutually with the recommendation of automatic headlamp control system.When automatic headlamp control system with The selection of driver agree (that is, because sensor 16 detects the headlamp of oncoming vehicle) time, be System switches back into automatic mode in the case of not carrying out any further operation in terms of driver.At another In example, automatic control system can sense the condition permitting closing distance light, i.e. may sense and deposit At oncoming vehicle.In such an example, being manually entered and controlling of distance light is opened in the follow-up of driver The recommendation of system conflicts mutually, so that automatic headlamp control system switches to manual mode.In system Determine when recommending distance light, i.e. when sense there are not other automotive lamps in scene above time, Automatic mode will be recovered.
Fig. 4 a-Fig. 4 c is that two known automatic headlamps as shown in fig. 4a and fig. 4b are controlled system The output of system and the output of the automatic headlamp control system according to subject of the present invention shown in Fig. 4 c The curve chart compared.Fig. 4 a shows the example output of time-based automatic headlamp control system 200.System recommendation 202 is to recommend distance light output 206(wherein, and distance light is opened) as starting.? At the t=20 second, driver inputs 204 by closedown distance light to system recommendation override, as at the t=20 second Distance light output 206 in reflected as.In such known system, distance light output keeps closing Close until pass the predetermined time, in this case, at the t=40 second, system auto-returned its push away That recommends enables distance light output, as the distance light at the t=40 second exports shown in 206.With so Method relevant disadvantageously, system exported to will again enable distance light constantly in the predetermined time, and No matter whether driver expects to arrange distance light.It is a risk that, even if headlamp is arranged and driver's request Headlamp arranges and does not mates, and this automatic headlamp control system also will be automatically adjusted headlamp and arrange.But, Because having recovered automatic mode at the t=80 second, so when system recommendation enables distance light again, automatically before Illuminator control system enables distance light again.
Fig. 4 b shows the example output 300 of automatic headlamp control system based on switch.System recommendation 302 to recommend distance light output 306(wherein, and distance light is opened) as starting.At the t=20 second, drive The person of sailing inputs 304, by closing distance light, system recommendation override, the such as distance light at the t=20 second is exported 306 Middle reflected as.But, in such automatic headlamp control system based on switch, the most extensive Automatically control operation again, until driver enables automatic headlamp control again.Therefore, at the t=80 second, System recommendation enables distance light again.But, because the override that automatic control system has passed through driver is defeated The action that enters and be deactivated, and driver the most again enables and automatically controls, so distance light remains turned-off.
Fig. 4 c shows the example output 400 of automatic headlamp control system based on subject of the present invention. Automatic control system 402 is to recommend distance light output as starting.At the t=20 second, driver is by request Close distance light and to automatic control system override.At the t=60 second, the automatic headlamp of subject of the present invention Control system 402 senses the condition permitting closing distance light, now, the output 404 of driver's request with Recommend 402 couplings.Because the recommendation 402 of the input 404 of driver and automatic control system at the t=60 second Coupling, so recovering to automatically control.Therefore, at the t=80 second, automatic control system 402 senses again To permitting enabling the condition of distance light, automatic control system does not carry out any the most dynamic in terms of driver Distance light is again enabled in the case of work.
Subject of the present invention avoids the shortcoming relevant to the override of known automatic headlamp control system, That is, it spontaneously determines that the suitable time of headlamp control period is again to enable headlamp control system Automatically control.Time when being mated by the input asked with driver in the recommendation of automatic control system Point recovers automatic headlamp and controls to automatically control, and automatic control system avoids the interference to driver.Existing Regardless of driver, the system having technology expects that distance light is defeated because being again turned on distance light after passing the scheduled time Whether go out and disturb driver, or the system of prior art needs driver to remember to the most again Enable automatic control system, again to obtain the benefit that automatic headlamp controls.
